338 32nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 338 32nd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Jeffrey Young, was constructed in 1961 and has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over its history. In 2016, the property faced multiple violations related to safety and maintenance, including concerns about lead paint hazards, fire safety requirements (such as the need to recharge fire extinguishers), and general building maintenance issues including peeling paint and weather protection needs. These violations, filed on June 22, 2016, were all abated by August 25, 2016.

The building had more serious structural concerns in 2004, when a tenant reported problems with Unit #6 shaking or moving when buses passed by, particularly concerning due to its support structure above the garage. Earlier records from 2003-2004 documented significant issues with the central alarm system, security violations, and fire safety concerns regarding combustible storage, all of which were eventually resolved. The building has experienced recurring issues with its alarm system, with documented concerns in 2009 and 2019 that were both corrected promptly.

Historical complaints include serious plumbing issues in 2004 with broken sewage pipes in the garage area and several maintenance concerns that suggest periodic upkeep is required. Recent activity at the property has been limited mainly to external areas, with 311 calls in 2022-2023 primarily related to sidewalk cleaning, tree roots damaging property, and street maintenance issues. The most recent building permit on record, from 2016, was for street space use with a minimal cost of $1.00.
